The initial conditions for young massive cluster formation in the Galactic Centre: convergence of large-scale gas flows
Bethan A. Williams, Daniel L. Walker, Steven N. Longmore +12
Young massive clusters (YMCs) are compact (1 pc), high-mass (>10 M) stellar systems of significant scientific interest. Due to their rarity and rapid fo…
Modelling of ionising feedback with Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics and Monte Carlo Radiative Transfer on a Voronoi grid
Maya A. Petkova, Bert Vandenbroucke, Ian A. Bonnell +1
The ionising feedback of young massive stars is well known to influence the dynamics of the birth environment and hence plays an important role in regulating the star formation pro…
Gas flows in galactic centre environments: cloud evolution and star formation in the Central Molecular Zone
Maya A. Petkova, J. M. Diederik Kruijssen
The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) is the most extreme star-forming environment in the Milky Way in terms of gas pressures, densities, temperatures, and dynamics. It acts as a critic…
The dynamical evolution of molecular clouds near the Galactic Centre - II. Spatial structure and kinematics of simulated clouds
J. M. D. Kruijssen, J. E. Dale, S. N. Longmore +16
The evolution of molecular clouds in galactic centres is thought to differ from that in galactic discs due to a significant influence of the external gravitational potential. We pr…
Clumpy dust rings around non-accreting young stars
Aleks Scholz, Antonella Natta, Inna Bozhinova +3
We investigate four young, but non-accreting, very low mass stars in Orion, which show irregular eclipses by circumstellar dust. The eclipses are not recurring periodically, are va…
Fast and accurate Voronoi density gridding from Lagrangian hydrodynamics data
Maya A. Petkova, Guillaume Laibe, Ian A. Bonnell
Voronoi grids have been successfully used to represent density structures of gas in astronomical hydrodynamics simulations. While some codes are explicitly built around using a Vor…
